Strictureplasty
Steven R. Hunt
The anatomy relating to a strictureplasty is straightforward. Most strictureplasties are performed in the small intestine. There is no clear transition point between the jejunum and ileum, and treatment is not differentiated based on this designation. Generally, the ileum has more fat in the mesentery and more complex arterial arcades with less distinct terminal vasa recta in the mesentery.
A noteworthy structure is the ligament of Treitz, which is the point where the jejunum emerges from the transverse colon mesentery. Generally, measurement of small bowel length is begun at the ligament of Treitz. A second important landmark is the fold of Treves (or ligament of Treves). On the terminal ileum at the ileocecal junction, this antimesenteric fat fold is the only nonmesenteric fat over the course of the entire small bowel.

Step 2: Preoperative Considerations

Strictureplasty was developed for the treatment of strictures of the small intestine related to Crohn’s disease. The technique allows small bowel length to be preserved and allows patients to avoid short bowel syndrome. A strictureplasty may be performed alone, in series with mul­tiple other strictureplasties, or in combination with resection.
Laparoscopy is not an option for patients who are identified preoperatively to need a stric­tureplasty. Generally, the thickened and shortened mesentery of diseased small bowel does not lend itself to delivery through a small incision. Additionally, strictureplasty techniques require a significant amount of palpation, and performing a strictureplasty with straight laparoscopy is not recommended.
Preoperative imaging studies include computed tomography, magnetic resonance enterogra­phy, small bowel follow-through studies, or a barium enema. These studies should be done as needed to delineate the relevant anatomy and to rule out active inflammation.
Strictureplasty is best performed on chronic fibrotic strictures. If a phlegmon or abscess is present, the patient should be given ample time to allow for the inflammation to resolve, or resection should be planned.

Chapter 31 Small Bowel Strictureplasty 377
Strictureplasty for Crohn’s disease should be considered in patients with multiple strictures and patients who have had multiple previous small bowel resections in whom repeat resection could lead to short bowel syndrome. It is best to avoid strictureplasty in the following situations:
s Localized perforation or phlegmon s Fistula s Multiple strictures over a short segment of small bowel s A stricture near the site of a planned resection s Radiation strictures s Colonic strictures s Malnutrition
As with other small bowel procedures, there is no need for a bowel preparation. Broad­spectrum antibiotics and deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis should be administered preopera­tively. Provided that there is no colonic disease and no need for access to the rectum, these procedures can be done in the supine position.

Step 3: Operative Steps

u
The length of the stricture determines the appropriate type of strictureplasty. For shorter
strictures (<10 cm), a Heineke-Mikulicz strictureplasty should be performed. For strictures longer than 10 cm, a Finney or Jaboulay strictureplasty should be performed. In the unusual case where a stricture is longer than 20 to 25 cm, a divided side-to-side isoperistaltic stric­tureplasty can be performed. Each of these procedures is described separately.
378 Chapter 31 Small Bowel Strictureplasty

Heineke-Mikulicz Strictureplasty

u
After a stricture has been identified as appropriate for a Heineke-Mikulicz strictureplasty, two
stay sutures should be placed on each side of the antimesenteric edge of the small bowel at the midpoint of the stricture. A longitudinal incision should be created on the antimesenteric side of the small bowel (Figure 31-1). The incision is made with the electrocautery. The inci­sion should begin 2 cm proximal to the stricture. The incision is initially made through normal small bowel proximal to the stricture. A tonsil clamp can be used to guide the remain­der of the longitudinal enterotomy over the entire length of the stricture and 2 cm out onto normal bowel at the distal end of the stricture.
u
Tension is placed on the stay sutures at the midpoint of the longitudinal incision (Figure
31-2). A central suture is placed across the central portion of this transverse closure at each
point of the apices of the initial incision. The suture is tightened down to show that the transverse closure of this strictureplasty is possible. If this central suture can be tied down without significant tension, it is appropriate to proceed with closure.
u
The incision is closed transversely with an absorbable suture (Figure 31-3), starting at each
stay suture and proceeding to the middle of the transverse opening (Figure 31-4). The choice of simple interrupted sutures, as opposed to a running inverted baseball stitch suture line, is left to the discretion of the surgeon. There are no data to support one technique over the other. A single-layer closure is usually adequate (Figure 31-4). Oversewing the thickened bowel with Lembert sutures can be quite difficult and can result in further narrowing of the strictureplasty, defeating the purpose of the procedure.
u
As an alternative to single-layer closure, the transverse closure can be bolstered with wide
bites of simple interrupted absorbable sutures across this transverse closure suture line.
u
An endoscopic biopsy forceps should be used to capture a portion of the mesenteric surface
(usually an ulcer is present) at the center of the stricture to screen for cancer, or a shave biopsy can be obtained from the antimesenteric cut surface.

Finney (Jaboulay) Strictureplasty

u
The Finney strictureplasty is appropriate for strictures 10 to 20 cm long. These strictures
generally are not suitable for Heineke-Mikulicz closure because it is difficult to bring the midpoint of the transverse closure of such a strictureplasty into approximation.
u
To begin this strictureplasty, the bowel should be folded into a “U” configuration with either
end of the stricture as the apex of the “U” (Figure 31-5). A single stay suture should be placed at the apex of the “U” and at the top of the arms of the “U” on normal bowel to maintain the bowel in this “U” configuration.
u
An antimesenteric incision should be made 2 cm out onto normal bowel, beyond the stricture
and the same length on the normal limb of the “U.”
u
An absorbable suture is used in a running fashion to complete the strictureplasty. The initial
suture is started at the folded edge of the back walls of the strictureplasty. The simple suture line is sewn down to and around the corner bringing the two limbs together. A second running suture should be started on the antimesenteric surface at the apex of the “U” and sewn in a running fashion along the anterior wall to meet the other suture and complete the closure of the newly enlarged lumen (Figure 31-6).

380 Chapter 31 Small Bowel Strictureplasty

Side-to-Side Isoperistaltic Strictureplasty

u
For strictures longer than 20 to 25 cm, the entire length of the stricture should be elevated
into the wound to display the mesentery. The bowel at the midpoint of the stricture should be divided transversely with the electrocautery. The mesentery to this bowel should be divided in a perpendicular fashion to preserve blood flow to both ends of the bowel.
u
After the mesentery is divided, the proximal limb of the diseased bowel is overlapped with
the distal limb of bowel. On each end, the diseased bowel should overlap the normal bowel by at least 2 cm. These two limbs of bowel are laid side by side.
u
An outer row of simple interrupted Lembert stay sutures is placed along the mesenteric edge
to approximate and hold the two limbs. After this suture line is placed, each limb of the bowel is opened longitudinally on the antimesenteric border. The incision should extend out onto the normal small bowel, proximally and distally, to accommodate for the overlapping diseased segment. The ends of each limb are spatulated to facilitate the closure in the corners. The inner layer of the back row is completed with two running, simple, absorbable sutures, each starting at the midpoint of the back row. The sutures are continued around each corner and across the anterior closure until they meet and are tied to each other. A second layer of simple interrupted sutures is placed to reinforce the anterior closure line.
u
Small titanium vascular clips should be placed at the mesenteric border of the middle of each
strictureplasty site to act at the ends of the stricture as a marker to identify each site (by the number or pattern of clips at each site).

Step 4: Postoperative Care

Patients should be maintained on intravenous fluids until they can resume adequate oral intake. Patients who require multiple strictures at a single operation should be decompressed with a nasogastric tube until resolution of ileus is documented. Otherwise, patients are begun on a liquid diet on postoperative day 1, and the diet is advanced as tolerated. Patients are discharged only when they show adequate bowel function and can tolerate a regular diet. Prophylactic antibiotics are continued for a total coverage period of 24 hours. Deep vein thrombosis pro­phylaxis is continued until discharge with either pneumatic compression boots or subcutaneous heparin. Patients are ambulated on postoperative day 1, and the Foley catheter is removed as soon as the patient is ambulatory.

Step 5: Pearls and Pitfalls

Hemorrhage is a common complication after a strictureplasty. It usually manifests as gastroin­testinal bleeding and results from hypervascularity of the cut edge of the bowel involved in the
Chapter 31 Small Bowel Strictureplasty 381
strictureplasty. The hemorrhage usually can be treated with supportive care including correction of coagulopathy, serial hemoglobin determinations, and transfusion as appropriate. In refractory cases, hemorrhage may be treated angiographically. The titanium clips placed at the time of the initial strictureplasty can facilitate the identification of the bleeding sites. If embolization fails, patients may need to return to the operating room. An enteric leak may occur at the site of the strictureplasty. If the leak is contained, it is best treated with radiographically guided drainage. If there is free leakage of enteric contents in the peritoneal cavity, re-exploration is necessary.
It is often difficult to determine whether a stricture is symptomatic based on its external appearance. Generally, bowel that permits the passage of a Foley balloon filled with 3 mL of saline should not be symptomatic. The presence of “occult” strictures of the small intestine can be identified using a Foley catheter. At a point where there is a known stricture, after the enter­otomy has been made, a Foley catheter with the balloon inflated to 3 cm with saline may be inserted proximally and distally. The balloon can be withdrawn through the bowel to identify other points of stricture.
In circumstances where short bowel syndrome is a possibility, it is necessary to measure the small bowel; this is generally done starting at the ligament of Treitz. A 75-cm umbilical tape is marched along the bowel to determine the actual length of the bowel. This measurement should be recorded in the operative note for reference in the future.
Although the incidence is quite low, adenocarcinoma can develop in the small bowel in cases of chronic active Crohn’s disease. During strictureplasty, biopsy specimens of any suspicious areas of the small bowel mucosa and the area of ulceration on the mesenteric aspect of the stricture should be obtained and sent for frozen-section analysis to rule out the presence of an adenocarcinoma.
Titanium hemoclips should be used to mark the proximal and distal extent of each stricture­plasty to allow for radiographic identification in the future. These clips can be useful in cases where there is postoperative bleeding, cases with a diagnosis of cancer in the biopsy specimen of the stricture, or when patients develop subsequent strictures to identify the site of the previ­ous strictureplasty.
More recent studies have shown that it is safe to perform strictureplasties across an ileocolic anastomosis. Depending on the configuration of the stricture and the anastomosis, either a Heineke-Mikulicz strictureplasty or a Finney strictureplasty may be used.

Pelvic Anatomy

The pelvic anatomy is complex with interrelationships between the rectum, vagina, uterus, ovaries, bladder, and prostate. The anatomy is important for pelvic dissection because of the various structures that are at risk, such as the splanchnic nerves (innervation of the bladder and sexual organs), the ureters, and the organs themselves. The common iliac artery and vein on each side of the sacral promontory course along the posterior aspect of the pelvic brim. The hypogastric plexus of parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves is found between the bifurcation of the aorta and common iliac vessels. This plexus coalesces to the right and left to become the splanchnic pelvic nerves, which run along the inner aspect of the pelvic side wall to the level of the obturator fossa and the anterolateral ligaments carrying the middle hemorrhoidal vessels. Nerve fibers course from the splanchnic nerve to the rectum through the anterolateral ligaments along the middle hemorrhoidal vessels. These nerves continue to either the vagina or the pros­tate as the nervi erigentes. A clear understanding of this nerve anatomy is critical because it is easily damaged during dissection and results in both sexual dysfunction and urinary bladder dysfunction (Figure 32-1A).
At the level of the sacral promontory, an areolar tissue plane begins behind the superior hemorrhoidal artery. The superior hemorrhoidal artery descends from the bifurcation of the inferior mesenteric artery and splits at approximately S1-2 to give two major trunks down the posterior aspect of the rectum. The mesorectal envelope encases the fat, lymphatic, and vascular structures to the rectum. The areolar tissue plane outside the mesorectal envelope is known as the “holy plane” and guides the dissection in the pelvis. A cross-sectional diagram of the pelvis shows the visceral peritoneum encasing the mesorectum with the areolar tissue plane between the visceral peritoneum and the parietal peritoneum posteriorly. The parietal peritoneum covers a nerve and venous plexus over the sacrum and the musculature of the side wall of the pelvis. Maintaining dissection within the areolar tissue plane between the parietal peritoneum and the visceral peritoneum protects all of the crucial structures in the pelvis (Figure 32-1B).

The rectum descends through the middle of the pelvis following the curve of the sacrum and at the level of the coccyx makes a right angle to exit through the pelvic floor via the anal canal. The levator ani muscles on either side of the pelvic floor form the support diaphragm of the pelvis and extend up onto the side wall of the pelvis to insert in the ischiospinous ligament attachments covering the nerves and vessels of the deep pelvic floor. The tip of the coccyx attaches to the pubococcygeal ligament, which supports the puborectalis muscle as a semicir­cular sling from the pubis around the back of the rectum. This muscle closes the top of the anal canal anterior to posterior (Figure 32-2).
The anterior pelvic structures including the bladder, prostate, and vagina are separated from the rectum by the rectoprostatic or rectovaginal septum. A visceral peritoneal layer known as Denonvilliers’ fascia is the posterior boundary of the anterior structures. This fascia protects the seminal vesicles and prostate during dissection. The areolar tissue plane surrounding the fat of the mesorectum continues around the entire rectum to the anterior surface of the rectum below the cul-de-sac of the pelvis. The plane is found behind or posterior to Denonvilliers’ fascia. The anterolateral ligaments of the rectum carry the middle hemorrhoidal vessels into the mesorectal envelope through the visceral fascia from an anterolateral direction. Dissection and transection of these middle hemorrhoidal vessels reveals the anterior areolar tissue plane behind Denonvil­liers’ fascia, which can be followed all the way down to the anal canal.
The ureters, which have been described as running into the pelvic area over the pelvic brim crossing the common iliac artery and vein on either side of the pelvis, continue into the pelvis along the side wall of the pelvis toward the posterior aspect of the bladder. In a nonoperated, pristine pelvis, the ureters are higher up along the side wall of the pelvis aiming toward the posterior aspect of the trigone of the bladder. In females, the ureters run between the arterial blood supply of the uterus along the anterolateral side wall of the pelvis. In males, ureters are not exposed during the distal pelvic dissection. The ureters may be drawn posteriorly after a previous operation but are normally fairly well protected anteriorly and laterally. In a previously operated pelvis, it is always wise to place ureteral stents at the beginning of the procedure to aid in identification of the aberrantly placed ureters.

Anal Anatomy

The upper anal canal begins at the puborectalis sling or the anorectal ring, which sits at the level of the pelvic floor and can be palpated through the anal canal as a bulge posteriorly (Figure
32-2). The longitudinal muscles of the rectum continue into the anus as the intersphincteric
plane demarcating the line between autonomic internal sphincter and somatic external sphincter fibers all the way down to the level of the anal canal skin where the intersphincteric groove is palpable. The ischiorectal fossa fat is found outside the circular fibers of the external sphincter that encircle the rectum. The pudendal nerve and vessels traverse the ischiorectal fat from each ischial spine through Alcock’s canal to the posterolateral aspect of the anal canal. During the perineal portion of a procedure, the pudendal nerves and vessels must be controlled.
The rectovaginal and rectoprostatic septum descends all the way to the level of the perineum anteriorly. The transverse perinei muscle separates the anterior and posterior perineum. The terminal fibers of the longitudinal muscle of the rectum insert into the skin of the anal canal just outside the anal verge as the corrugator cutanei ani and cause the ridges that are noticed around the anal canal. The internal sphincter is the hypertrophied circular muscle of the wall of the rectum. The lowest portion of the internal sphincter can be palpated as a groove where the longitudinal fibers insert on the skin.
